Tanks for the invasion were fitted with flotation curtains and propellers. This didn't make them "sea worthy" vessels but it was considered good enough to get them on shore. The problem with Omaha beach was its LSTs stopped over a half mile off shore and ordered the tanks off.

The soldiers who hit Omaha had no armor to advance behind nor a crater to use for shelter.
